... Abstract N 2 and CO 2 are the most common gases utilized in foam enhanced oil recovery (EOR) techniques. Foam is introduced in enhanced oil recovery (EOR) to mitigate the problems encountered during gas floodings such as high gas mobility, viscous fingering, and gravity override. CO 2...

... by the Programme Committee. ABSTRACT Low Salinity water and Polymer injection are as two well known Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) technologies. The concept of Low Salinity Water (LSW) flooding has been documented as a promising water-based enhanced oil recovery method. In the same way, many experimental studies have...

..., in increasing the oil recovery up to 7%. Simulation work to predict the benefits in the field was executed. Core experiments were reproduced using a wettability change model to obtain low salinity water parameters, the salt- dependent relative permeability curves. The process was scaled up to a fine sector...

... parameters associated to oil recovery such as oil/water interfacial tension, wettability and oil viscosity. Surfactant adsorption/retention as well as rock/nanoemulsion interactions have been also evaluated. The future applicability of nanoemulsion strongly depends on its costs that can be reduced decreasing...

Even though the mechanism of residual oil mobilization is still not well known, the coexistence, in nanoemulsions, of small droplets size, surfactants mixture and solvent could favorably impact on critical parameters such as oil/water interfacial tension...

... (IFT) of oleic and different salinity aqueous solutions resulted in insignificant IFT drop with salinity reduction. Zeta potential and contact angle measurements confirmed that wettability alteration is the main mechanism for improved oil recovery in both carbonate and sandstone samples. Wettability...

The experimental data were reproduced to derive input simulation parameters to describe the chemical EOR process: the benefits...

... Abstract A vessel of opportunity for riserless light well intervention (RLWI) can lead to accelerated oil recovery. Since a rig was not an economical solution and a slot on a purpose built intervention vessel was unavailable (9 mo. away), a vessel of opportunity was utilized for riserless...

The final oil recovery was higher in the cycles where the sequence was initiated by water injection before the immiscible gas. Numerical simulations of the experiments were performed and microscopic sweep efficiency...
